Interrogating Imperialism: Conversations on Gender, Race and War, (co-edited with Robin Riley, Palgrave, December 2006).
Abstract: A set of essays on the current strain of U.S Imperialism. Contributors include: Jacqui Alexander, Lisa Armsgtrong, Shampa Biswas, Hannah Britton, Monisha Das Gupta, Ayesha Khan, Himadeep Muppidi, and Vijay Prashad. With comments from Cynthia Enloe and Zillah Eisenstein.
International Relations and the Problem of Difference (With David Blaney), Routledge, January, 2004.
Abstract: The Peace of Westpahlia (1648) is often marked as the theoretical and historical origin of modern international state society. We argue that while this received view maybe meaningful, the Peace of Westphalia is better seen as a deferral of the fierce and dangerous problem of how to react to cultural and religious difference. For IR theory, Westphalia marks both the opening and postponement of how to conceive and act towards difference. After explaining how the problem of difference emerges and how it is deferred, we demonstrate how this legacy continues to plague contemporary theory and practice. We also uncover recessive themes that, by creatively facing the problem of difference, allow IR to turn the problem of difference into opportunity for creating a democracy of cultures
The Global Economy as Political Space. (co-edited with Steve Rosow and Mark E. Rupert, Lynne Rienner, 1994.)
Abstract: These essays reach beyond mainstream, economistic approaches to explore the social, political, philosophical, and cultural dimensions of the shift from a nation-state-based to a global economy. Contributers: John Agnew, Kurt Burch, David Cambell, Richard Coughlin, Naeem Inayatullah, Bradley Klein, Sankaran Krishna, Marianne Marchand, Steve Rosow, Mark Rupert, Christine Sylvester, and F. Unger.
